Grand County approves submittal of Safe Streets for All grant planning application
Summary
Deputy Chief Ben Clark asked the board to authorize the chair to sign application documents for a Safe Streets for All planning and demonstration grant to develop a countywide safety action plan; commissioners approved the submission.
Grand County commissioners authorized the chair to sign application documents for a Safe Streets for All planning and demonstration grant after a presentation from Deputy Chief Ben Clark of Grand County EMS.
Clark said the grant would fund development of a comprehensive safety‑action plan built around the Safe Systems approach for county roadways; he noted the grant team’s investigation found a county highway‑fatality figure that, over the five‑year period 2018–2022, equated to two deaths—used as a local illustration of risk in the grant narrative. Clark requested the board’s motion to approve submission by the June 26 deadline.
Commissioners asked about the timeframe and confirmed they wanted to move forward; a motion authorizing the chair to sign the application and associated documents carried.
